It has been some time since I wrote here.. wrote anything at all.......
I don't remember the date, but I'd worked the night before and was sleeping my usual sleep of the dead....... I woke up thinking Mary was having a nightmare. She was in fact having a seizure. I tipped her on her side and called 911. Opened the door for the paramedics. Her blood sugar was 43 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) She woke up disoriented (what are all these boys in blue doing in my bedroom??) They made her eat a tube of something to bring up her blood sugar. She then had a PB&J sandwich with a glass of orange juice. We declined the trip to County (nearest hospital) signed off the paperwork and I took her to Chandler. She fell in with an endocrinologist who diagnosed her with Adrenal Insufficiency. She now follows with Dr. Alamir and has had and up and down.. now mostly upwards trend in her health issues. She still has her days... but right now, things are much better.
Today she sees Dr. Alamir, and then off to Kitty's for a visit.
